Herbs to prevent infection

My husband cut his finger pretty badly at school and we don't have any insurance. There was no flesh left to stitch so I am not overly concerned about that part, but I am worried about his finger getting infected. Are there any herbs he can take to prevent infection?

I don't know of anything internal that will help but a tea wash two or three times a day could help. Tea is antibacterial. Wash it with the tea and cover it with gauze for the first couple days, until it has a chance to seal over. Once it's no longer seeping, then let the air get to it.

Thanks Stargazer we will definitely give that a try. He has been taking garlic supplements as well because that is supposed to be antibacterial.
